Estill Police Officer Quincy Smith was shot four times while responding to a suspicious persons call. A clerk at a store told the officer that a man wearing camouflage and a red bandana had tried taking groceries from customers, according to a news release from the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.

Smith, who was wearing glasses that had a camera inside, spotted Orr, who matched the description the store clerk gave him.

Smith’s glasses recorded him repeatedly telling Orr to “come here.” Smith walked toward Orr, who was seen defying the officer’s orders to stop.

The police officer could be heard telling Orr five separate times to take his hands out from his pockets. Smith threatened Orr with a taser gun if he refused to remove his hands from his pockets.

After the fifth time Smith asked, Orr pulled a gun out from his sweatshirt pocket and shot the police officer.

Once Smith ran back to his vehicle and contacted emergency dispatch, he could be heard giving the message to his family: “I love them.”

A jury deliberated for less than 45 minutes before delivering the guilty verdict, the news release said.

Orr was sentenced to 30 years for attempted murder and five years for a weapons violation, the maximum amount of prison time possible.

This is what cops have to deal with. So when there’s an innocent person who doesn’t have a gun but they act exactly like this guy, cops get jittery. Does that excuse or exonerate all shootings? NO. But this is what people at “Black Lives Matter” and other cop critics don’t understand, either out of ignorance, or willful spite.
